mad dog plus three
Chapter 428
On the second day after the wedding, according to the ancient tradition of the Xia Clan, there was a banquet to thank the relatives.This kind of thank-you banquet was originally an occasion for newcomers to meet their relatives and friends, but in the royal family, the meaning of the thank-you banquet is much more complicated.
Jiasan, who was most afraid of such trivial troubles, wished to skip the banquet directly, but he could only think about it.
Originally, according to his intention, only the closest people were invited to the thank-you banquet, that is, family, relatives and friends to gather together.
But both the Xia Clan in the Land of Xia and the Xia Clan in the Principality of the Chu Clan considered themselves Jiasan's relatives, and told Jiasan early on that they wanted to attend the thank-you banquet.
Uncle Dong also told him that the royal family usually invites the important figures and blood relatives of the royal family to the thank-you banquet, and he can't really invite only the people he wants to invite as he wants.If anyone was missed at the wedding thank you banquet, the other party would definitely think that the king had excluded himself from the range of his confidantes and relatives, and would inevitably have some bad thoughts.
In particular, there are quite a few people from the Xia Clan in the Chushi Principality claiming to be relatives of the Jia family.
Jiasan did not send invitation letters to these people, but they followed Chufei uninvited. When they entered Xia City, they wanted to find Jia's family to make connections. If they couldn't find them, they advertised that they were Jiasan's blood relatives. The status of the Principality of Chu's is not low. Since the death of the fake grand duke, these people have jumped up and down, and they don't pay attention to the heir Chufei.
After the people from the security team reported the incident, Jiasan went to ask Grandma Jia, and learned that those people really had a certain relationship with their family, although the blood was far away.
Grandma Jia told Jiasan not to pay attention to those people, to beat them up if they wanted to, and to kill them if they wanted to, without any sympathy.
Looking at Grandma Jia's attitude, Jiasan knew that the relationship between those relatives and their family was not good.He has no feelings for those relatives, and he didn't do anything before, just because he was worried about adding grandma.
It just so happened that whether it was the Xia Clan in the land of Xia or the Chushi Principality, there were still many remaining problems to be solved, so Jiasan simply took the opportunity of the thank-you banquet to invite them all, intending to solve all these troublesome things before the marriage.
So the originally planned several tables were expanded into a buffet banquet, and there were really too many people coming.
"I'll be there later." Renuo, who was talking to Uncle Dong, transmitted it to him.
Jia San smiled: "You know all my relatives and friends. My family will not come to this thank you banquet, so you won't be there either. Take a good rest, you have been busy for a long time."
Lei Nuo and Uncle Dong are mostly busy with the wedding. Although they are the bosses, as long as they talk about it, someone below will help them, but they also have a lot of things to do by themselves, not just being the boss Leave everything behind and leave it to the people under you.And the more you care, the more things you have to be busy with.
Jia Sanyuan still wanted to keep everything simple, but no matter how simple it was, it couldn't be simple as long as it involved Renault, not to mention that his current status also needed to consider Xia Guo's face.
Therefore, even if Renault had started preparations for this wedding more than two years ago, it was just as cumbersome to actually do it.
Now that the wedding is finally completed, all the distinguished guests are either playing in the Ice and Snow Continent, or have already left. There is no need for two people to entertain the guests.
"I'll find you later." Renault decided unilaterally.
There was nothing he could do about it, "Don't come too early." This thank you banquet is not destined to be too pleasant.
The same is true.
When Jiasan arrived at the banquet hall, the guests had almost arrived.
When Jiasan came in, everyone saluted him.But as long as you look carefully, you will find that many people salute very perfunctorily, especially those from the Chushi Principality.
Jiasan took all these people's actions into his eyes, and his face remained calm.
On the contrary, Chu Xuan and the others looked extremely ugly.
The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was not very good. Before Jiasan came, the Xia clan in the land of Xia and the Xia clan in the Duchy of Chu were fighting each other, and the people in Xiacheng couldn't completely stay on one side to watch the show, because the people on both sides Occasionally, people will say a few words about their envy, which is actually yin and yang.
"All the people who came here today are our own people." Jiasan paused, his eyes deliberately lingering on the faces of the Xiacheng people present for a while.
The Xiacheng people laughed knowingly.
A smile also appeared on Jiasan's face: "I don't know how grateful I am to you all. I can only say that without you, Xiacheng and even Xiaguo would not be where they are today. I believe that with you, Xiaguo will definitely become better in the future." Good. For now, everyone will eat and drink well, have a good meal, and I will ask you to help support the venue tomorrow. Now I announce that the banquet will begin!"
Everyone laughed together, many people clapped their hands together, and the banquet hall was full of applause and laughter.
When the Xiacheng people were having fun, some people curled their lips or showed obvious disdainful expressions on their faces, as if they didn't like the king Jiasan's words and deeds so civilian.
Moreover, Jiasan's words of thanks were obviously aimed at Xiacheng people and had nothing to do with other Xia people. This made some people who wanted to get a share of the New Xia Kingdom very upset, and the fact that none of Jia's family members came It is to make them feel that they have been treated with contempt—how can the relatives not show up for the thank-you banquet?
Seeing that this banquet was about to end in the midst of eating and drinking, those who came with certain purposes couldn’t bear it anymore. Normally, they would not have access to Jiasan at all, and they probably couldn’t count on it in the future. Tonight’s thank you banquet is their only one at present. Chance.
A strange young monster jumped out of nowhere and jumped into Jiasan's arms.
Jiasan put his arms around the little monster, lowered his head and smiled, and stroked him.
The little monster lay in his arms, looking at those who claimed to be the third relatives.
The corners of the mouths of those who have seen the little monster twitched. How sticky is it?The thank-you banquet did not require this person to appear on stage, and he came here specially.
Someone pushed forward, trying to get close to Jiasan, but before he got close, he was stopped by the guards.
The other party had no choice but to raise his voice and shout: "Your Highness, ah no, Your Majesty, I am your uncle, your grandma knows me, and I am her eldest cousin, Earl Ziyuan, who also has the status of heir to the Duchy of Qushi. I have something to ask you."
Many people looked at Earl Zi Yuan, and some people who had a purpose were full of expectations—Although Earl Zi Yuan was famous for his thoughtless speech, it took a lot of thought for everyone to persuade him to stand out first.
Jiasan raised his eyelids, "Don't mistake relatives, my grandma said, except for Jia's family, all her relatives have died."
Earl Ziyuan's face changed, and she immediately said dissatisfied: "How can she say that? Back then, her husband Jia was able to become the guard of the Grand Duke, and it was the Earl who recommended it for him. Why did he turn his face and deny anyone when he became rich?"
Except Xuan and other Xiacheng people with cold faces, they all looked at Earl Ziyuan with dead eyes: Where did he get the courage to talk to their king like this?
"Really, how does this king remember that my father told me that one of the murderers who chased and killed our family at that time was the son of Earl Ziyuan?" Jia San's eyes suddenly became fierce.
How could Earl Ziyuan admit it? "Impossible! Jia Shuang must have read it wrong. Our two families are relatives. How could my son go after and kill His Majesty's family?"
"Presumptuous! Duke Jia is the Duke of our country, how dare you call him by his first name as a small, shabby earl? Who gave you the courage!" Apart from Xuan's cold face, even people close to him would be intimidated, let alone a person who came to fight the autumn wind. of outsiders.
Earl Ziyuan's momentum immediately weakened, and he felt that Jiasan didn't respect them again, so he held back for a while before he said: "Sorry, I've been outspoken for a while, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Jiasan didn't say forgiveness, nor did he say no, "Is that your son?"
Jiasan looked at the few people behind him, there were men and women, they were full of nobility, rather they were full of arrogance.
Earl Ziyuan was startled immediately, fearing that Jiasan would retaliate in court, he regretted that he came out first, but it might be even worse to retreat now, so he could only avoid the topic without answering: "Your Majesty, what is your honor coming this time?" I have something important to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Jiasan asked casually, stroking the little monster in his arms.
Earl Ziyuan was overjoyed, fearing that he would not have the opportunity to speak out, he hurriedly stated: "The matter is of great importance. I wonder if His Majesty the Great has any arrangements for the successor of the Duchy of Qushi? We have written several times to ask the imperial capital, and we all We didn't get a clear answer, but we came here this time just to ask, what are your Majesties' plans for the Dukedom of Chu's?"
Jia San glanced at Chu Fei from the corner of his eyes, and the most orthodox heir shrank to the side like a quail, as if he was just here to eat.
According to the news from the newspaper below, it is said that the first heir of the Dushi Duchy applied here two months ago, saying that he wanted to move here, and he didn't ask for any title of nobility, he just wanted to be an ordinary migrating member of the Xia tribe.
And the Xia Clan stopped the population importation as early as three months ago, that is, one month after Fanbit's death. Any outsider who wants to enter the Ice and Snow Continent is no longer as easy as before, let alone get a Those who want to stay will also need to go through identity verification before they can get a temporary residence status.
A month ago, because they wanted to hold a wedding ceremony for him and Renault, Xia Guo rejected all foreigners who applied to enter. If guests who came to the wedding and entertainment did not have an invitation letter, they could only get a short-term invitation letter at the border. A tourist permit is required to enter, regardless of your status.
In addition to Fei Fei's special status, his immigration application has been put on hold, and he was able to enter Xiacheng after that because of an invitation letter.
Many people are wondering why Jiasan didn’t quickly deal with the problems of the Xia Clan in the Land of Xia and the Xia Clan in the Principality of Chu’s, such as merging them into the Ice and Snow Continent. After all, the Ice and Snow Continent is so big that it used to be impossible to live because of the ice, snow and weather, but now There is a magic circle covering the entire continent, and they can restart anywhere.
But Jiasan only accepted a small number of people, among them were marginalized people who couldn't survive in the Principality of Chushi, some laborers who bought magic food but didn't have enough magic crystals to pay for it, and some were sent by the land of Xia a group of orphans.
The Land of Xia originally wanted to transfer the entire clan to the Ice and Snow Continent, but after Vanbitt died, they did not continue to move after they got the news. As for the group of minors who were sent before, as long as they have family members and want to go back to the Land of Summer Those from the land were sent back to the land of summer.
Jia San said: "The Duchy of Chushi was sealed by the previous three generations, and the person who sealed it was the false Grand Duke. Since the false Grand Duke is dead, there is no need for this Principality to exist."
Except for a very small number of people, who knows when the false Grand Duke will appear?When Jiasan and Renault say it will appear, that's when it will be.
Defei, who knew the situation best, didn't say a word.
When they heard that the principality could not exist, those who came with a purpose were anxious.
Earl Zi Yuan also shouted: "It's not fair! We don't know about the false grand duke. That piece of land and the people of the Xia people on that land were named dukedoms, and it wasn't the efforts of the first grand duke alone. Now, why can’t the principality continue?”
Jia San sneered, and suddenly said: "Young Master Chu Fei, how about you answer this question?"
He has no choice but to be fat, he just wants to be a quiet fat man, but Jiasan obviously doesn't want to make it so easy for him.
"Cough, report back to Your Majesty, the Duchy of Chushi on the World of Warcraft Continent belongs to the Perman Empire, and the emperor has the right to do anything with the duchy." Chu Fei gave an ambiguous answer.
Duke Ziyuan scolded angrily: "Chu Fei! You have no right to say such things on behalf of the Duchy of Chushi! The Grand Duke has long denied your position as the heir. The Duchy of Chushi is a territory that my family has worked hard to build. Just revoke? Your Majesty, you are the king of our Xia people, you can't stand by His Majesty just because you are married to him!"
Duke Ziyuan continued with a earnest and considerate expression for the Xia Kingdom: "Your Majesty, the existence of the Chushi Principality is very important. It is a symbol that our Xia people can survive and take root in other places. If it is really cancelled, where Where will the Xia people go? What will be the status of the Xia people in the Perman Empire in the future? Your Majesty, you can’t let the emperor take back the Duchy and his title. Your Majesty, I am your uncle, I can swear, As long as I can become the Grand Duke of the Principality of Chushi, I will definitely establish diplomatic relations between the Principality and the Xia Kingdom, and allow the two places to watch over and help each other."
Jiasan's face darkened: "Pay attention to what you say, if you pretend to be my uncle again, don't blame me for being rude! Again, apart from Jia's family and my close relatives, I have no other relatives. Apart from Xuan, pass on this king's order, and from now on, anyone who pretends to be my relatives and friends, as long as this king does not approve, will be arrested for the most serious crime of fraud!"
"Yes." Chu Xuan answered firmly, he had long since disliked those who claimed to be relatives of His Majesty.However, the people in Xiacheng are not soft and kind to be bullied, and His Majesty did not recognize them, no matter how much these people yelled, they couldn't take advantage of it.
Some other people who claimed to be relatives of the Jia family were all terrified.They suddenly discovered that this young His Majesty who loved the people like a son and was soft-hearted and kind-hearted was not like what was said in the legend at all, this man was obviously very fierce.
Earl Ziyuan broke out in a cold sweat.
His sons and daughters didn't know how to live or die, and his son said in a strange manner at this time: "We are obviously related by blood, but His Majesty doesn't recognize it. What is this? Don't you recognize poor relatives after you get rich?"
Earl Ziyuan's daughter pulled her brother's sleeves, covered her lips with the most popular feather fan and said, "Brother, don't talk about it, now he has climbed up to King Gu Xia and His Majesty the Great Emperor, how can he put it on his face?" What do we family members think of? Sigh, there are so many ungrateful people in this person."
Many guests snickered.It wasn't Jiasan who was laughing, but this couple, who were obviously quite old, but couldn't see the situation clearly at all. They wanted to ask His Majesty Jiasan to help them keep their title, but they didn't take His Majesty Jiasan seriously. I don't know if their brains are full of shit?
However, those who knew Earl Ziyuan's family were not surprised at all. This family has always been like this, flattering the superiors and looking down on anyone who is inferior to them.In their eyes, Jiasan was probably the poor kid from the family they had chased and killed. No matter how prosperous Jia's family was, they still belonged to the "upstart" category in their eyes.
Earl Zi Yuan's sons and daughters were still very proud, thinking that they had mentioned Jiasan's sore feet.
Jiasan looked at this brainless family, and couldn't understand how they survived under the hands of the false Grand Duke until now, and even got the name of the earl, maybe it was because this family was too stupid?
Some people looked at Jiasan's expression with fear, and wanted to gag the mouths of Earl Ziyuan's children. This pair of idiots can be as stupid as they want in the Duchy of Chushi. Anyway, they have no real power, and the jokes they usually make just happen to explain to everyone. relieve boredom.And if they weren't stupid, they wouldn't be able to convince this family to be the first bird, but they didn't expect this family to be so stupid that they openly satirized Jiasan, who is the king of Xia Kingdom!
Jia San glanced at some caring people, sneered in his heart, and said, "Come here, arrest this family. This family not only pretends to be relatives of this king, but is also suspected of being one of the murderers who persecuted my family back then. Wake up and torture, it is best to torture all the murderers who persecuted the king's family at that time."
"Yes!" The guards responded loudly.They had long wanted to beat up this family who was disrespectful to His Majesty, and held their breath for a long time.As soon as they heard the order to add three, dozens of people rushed out to arrest people immediately.
The countenance of Earl Ziyuan's family changed drastically, and they shouted: "How dare you! This is a false accusation! Your Majesty, you can't do this! We are nobles from the Duchy of Qushi and people from the Perman Empire. You can't do this to us!"
Although Earl Ziyuan's family is also extraordinary, their fighting qi skills look good, but it depends on who they compare with.
Most of the bodyguards in Jiasan came from Blood Warriors, and all the elites who could be selected to be beside him were superhuman elites. To deal with such a family with more than a dozen people was not like catching rabbits, and they would be caught quickly.
Earl Ziyuan was still shouting: "Your Majesty Jiasan, you can't arrest us! We are members of the Perman Empire, and the emperor will not allow you to treat the nobles of Perman like this. If you do this, you will make all the Perman people hostile." You, you are looking for a dead end, you let us go!"
Jiasan picked up one of the little monster's paws and played with it, "Pellman Empire? Don't you know that your emperor has given me the Perlman Empire?"
The little monster stuffed the other little paw into Jiasan's hand, and my dear pinched him very comfortably.
Everyone was shocked.Even the Xiacheng people looked at their young king in surprise.
Everyone who knew the little monster looked at him, and seeing him squinting his eyes and looking intoxicated, they were a little speechless - he was simply a typical example of a foolish king.
"Impossible!" Earl Ziyuan shouted.
Jiasan thought they were noisy, so he asked the guards to shut their mouths - he could obviously use silence magic, but he just didn't work.
The guards were also narrow-minded, and they took out the strange-smelling cloth from the space tool and stuffed it into the family's mouth, making the family sick to death.
"Take it."
"Yes."
"I want to see King Gu Xia, I want... woo woo!"
Earl Ziyuan's family howled, and they were taken down before the wind and waves arose.
Jia San looked around at everyone present, "Who else wants to discuss matters with this king, now this king will give you a chance, as long as you don't violate the laws of Xia Kingdom, this king will say whatever you want."
The banquet hall was silent.
Except Xiaohoe and the others winked, waiting to see the jokes of the people from the other two places.Although they are all members of the Xia tribe, the relationship between them is not very good, and there is no sense of teary eyes when seeing fellow villagers.
Elder Chu of the Land of Xia sighed and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss."
Jiasan has a good impression of Elder Chu, and is kind to him: "Elder, please tell me."
Elder Chu stated: "At present, His Majesty has taken back the autonomy of all ethnic groups in the Four Seasons Continent. He not only requires changes in the management structure of each region, but also arranges for the army, management, tax officials, etc. to enter the Xia Land, but our people in the Xia Land have already We are used to self-management, and we follow the ancient family system. We dare not say how good it is until now, but we have maintained it until now. His Majesty the Great suddenly made a one-size-fits-all decision at this time, and the Xia people in the land of Xia felt at a loss. This time the old man came, also I would like to ask Your Majesty to help make peace, can you consider the special situation of the Xia people and give the land of Xia a certain autonomy?"
Look, this is the real purpose of the Xia Clan in the two places insisting on attending this wedding thank you banquet. They want to take advantage of this special occasion, when all the Xia Clans from the three parties are present and there are no other irrelevant people, they want to intercede with Jiasan. Nothing more than this autonomy.
Jiasan would not say that this matter had nothing to do with him. After he decided to marry Lei Nuo and accept Lei Nuo's gift, both the Perlman Empire and Xia Kingdom became his responsibility.
"Since you asked clearly, then I will answer you clearly." Jiasan no longer claimed to be the king, "It is impossible to want autonomy. Whether it is the Perlman Empire or the Xia Kingdom, the new national structure Laws and laws have been implemented, and it is imperative to change the two countries. And the status of nobility will be just a status in the two countries in the future. Apart from family property, it will no longer have territorial rights and governance rights."
Except for the elder who closed his eyes, he had already expected such a reply, so he had no choice but to take a step back and ask: "If the Xia people in my land of Xia want to enter the Xia country and become the people of the new Xia country, do you know? What are the benefits?"
"People of the Xia tribe entered the country of Xia and wanted to become citizens of the country of Xia. Naturally, they have preferential treatment compared to ordinary people. For example, the inspection period is shorter than others." Jiasan replied.
Elder Chu stared wide-eyed, "That's all?"
Jia Sanzhan said, "As early as three months ago, since Fanbit was destroyed, I gave you a month. At that time, I told you that if you want to join Xia Kingdom, you only need to express your opinion within one month. , then you can freely choose the existing towns on the Ice and Snow Continent, and you can become a citizen of the Xia Kingdom as soon as you come, enjoy all the benefits of the citizens of the Xia Kingdom, and also fulfill all the obligations of the people of the Xia Kingdom. It is a pity that choosing in a There are not many people expressing their views within the month."
Except for the helplessness of the elders, he didn't care about that little power. He asked these questions today for the sake of other people, "But at that time we asked you whether you could maintain the original family system when you migrated, and you said no, including the elders. Yes, you don’t accept it either. And you won’t consider granting noble titles when everyone has no meritorious contributions. You also need to purchase real estate and fields, and there is a limit on the number of purchases, and you have to give up slaves. This..." is a bit too harsh .
Elder Chu didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Jiasan smiled, "You can also choose not to move here, and continue to maintain your family system in the land of Xia, as long as your family system complies with the laws of the country, and your original property will not be moved."
Except for what the elders wanted to say, the army, judges, and tax officials were no longer their own people, and their land of summer would no longer be the land of summer.But now that the two His Majesties are working together, it is meaningless for him to say anything.Looking at the structure of Xia Kingdom, we can see that even if these people migrated here, they would not be able to enjoy their original power status.
The most frightening thing is that although the Perlman Empire still allows the sale of land and slaves, but the country of the husband and wife has canceled these, will the other party cancel these?Didn't you see that all the lords on the Continent of Disputes are drunk and dreaming of death, waiting for the big knife on their heads to fall?
"Elder, do you have any questions?" Jia Sanrou asked.
Elder Chu smiled wryly, shook his head, "Not anymore."
Jiasan smiled: "You know, I very much welcome Xia people from all over the country to come to Xia Kingdom."
Seeing that none of the Xia people in the land of Xia got any good results, the people from the Chushi Principality did not dare to express their "opinions".
Jiasan saw that the people in the Duchy of Chushi started pretending to be grandsons, and he didn't just let them go. The people who came here tonight were all from the Duchy of Chushi.
So he also clearly told these visitors from the Duchy of Chushi: "The Duchy of Chushi has ceased to exist since the day the puppet Grand Duke died. I don't know if the original title will be cancelled, but the fiefdom in your hands It will definitely be taken back. I also welcome the Xia people over there to come to the Xia country. The conditions are the same as those of the Xia people in the land of Xia. No serious crime history, no slaves, and no violation of the heart of the Xia country, as long as these three conditions are met After a three-month inspection period, you can become a native of the New Xia Kingdom. However, the land in the Xia Kingdom is not bought or sold, but only leased. The longest lease period is 200 years, and the lease can be renewed under the same conditions when it expires."
When the people of the Duchy heard these conditions, most of them were unwilling.
Jiasan also doesn't want these nobles at all. He is not short of money or people, but what he lacks is the labor force and elites from all walks of life who are willing to work, not a group of masters, ladies, young masters and young ladies who have no output or contribution.
"Finally!" After the banquet, Jiasan stretched his waist, and the little monster jumped out of his arms, stretched its body, and hugged his lover.
"We can have a good rest now, right? We are newly married now." Lei Nuo did not hide his resentment towards his husband at all.
Jiasan laughed, "Do you think you can rest? There are many things that haven't happened yet..."
"As long as you want to do things, you can never finish them."
"Okay okay, let's rest, by the way, what do you think of the honeymoon?"
"Honeymoon?"
"It's just going out to play after marriage, just the two of us."
Renault pinched his ears, "You don't just want to go to the abyss for honeymoon, do you?"
A look of sternness flashed in Jiasan's eyes, "Why not? The Miracle Merchant Group specially sent such a big gift for our wedding. If we don't reciprocate a little or two, wouldn't it appear that we don't understand reciprocity?"
Lei Nuo didn't want anyone to interfere with his wedding date. He had already issued a hunting order for the Miracle Merchant Group. It was only a matter of time before the leader of the Miracle Merchant Group was caught. Originally, Lei Nuo wanted to wait until he had a clear message from the other party. Finally, he took Jiasan there again, but Jiasan wanted to go to the abyss to play in advance.The journey of two people, think about it, is a little more interesting than closing the small black room all day long.
Jiasan, who was most afraid of such trivial troubles, wished to skip the banquet directly, but he could only think about it.
Originally, according to his intention, only the closest people were invited to the thank-you banquet, that is, family, relatives and friends to gather together.
But both the Xia Clan in the Land of Xia and the Xia Clan in the Principality of the Chu Clan considered themselves Jiasan's relatives, and told Jiasan early on that they wanted to attend the thank-you banquet.
Uncle Dong also told him that the royal family usually invites the important figures and blood relatives of the royal family to the thank-you banquet, and he can't really invite only the people he wants to invite as he wants.If anyone was missed at the wedding thank you banquet, the other party would definitely think that the king had excluded himself from the range of his confidantes and relatives, and would inevitably have some bad thoughts.
In particular, there are quite a few people from the Xia Clan in the Chushi Principality claiming to be relatives of the Jia family.
Jiasan did not send invitation letters to these people, but they followed Chufei uninvited. When they entered Xia City, they wanted to find Jia's family to make connections. If they couldn't find them, they advertised that they were Jiasan's blood relatives. The status of the Principality of Chu's is not low. Since the death of the fake grand duke, these people have jumped up and down, and they don't pay attention to the heir Chufei.
After the people from the security team reported the incident, Jiasan went to ask Grandma Jia, and learned that those people really had a certain relationship with their family, although the blood was far away.
Grandma Jia told Jiasan not to pay attention to those people, to beat them up if they wanted to, and to kill them if they wanted to, without any sympathy.
Looking at Grandma Jia's attitude, Jiasan knew that the relationship between those relatives and their family was not good.He has no feelings for those relatives, and he didn't do anything before, just because he was worried about adding grandma.
It just so happened that whether it was the Xia Clan in the land of Xia or the Chushi Principality, there were still many remaining problems to be solved, so Jiasan simply took the opportunity of the thank-you banquet to invite them all, intending to solve all these troublesome things before the marriage.
So the originally planned several tables were expanded into a buffet banquet, and there were really too many people coming.
"I'll be there later." Renuo, who was talking to Uncle Dong, transmitted it to him.
Jia San smiled: "You know all my relatives and friends. My family will not come to this thank you banquet, so you won't be there either. Take a good rest, you have been busy for a long time."
Lei Nuo and Uncle Dong are mostly busy with the wedding. Although they are the bosses, as long as they talk about it, someone below will help them, but they also have a lot of things to do by themselves, not just being the boss Leave everything behind and leave it to the people under you.And the more you care, the more things you have to be busy with.
Jia Sanyuan still wanted to keep everything simple, but no matter how simple it was, it couldn't be simple as long as it involved Renault, not to mention that his current status also needed to consider Xia Guo's face.
Therefore, even if Renault had started preparations for this wedding more than two years ago, it was just as cumbersome to actually do it.
Now that the wedding is finally completed, all the distinguished guests are either playing in the Ice and Snow Continent, or have already left. There is no need for two people to entertain the guests.
"I'll find you later." Renault decided unilaterally.
There was nothing he could do about it, "Don't come too early." This thank you banquet is not destined to be too pleasant.
The same is true.
When Jiasan arrived at the banquet hall, the guests had almost arrived.
When Jiasan came in, everyone saluted him.But as long as you look carefully, you will find that many people salute very perfunctorily, especially those from the Chushi Principality.
Jiasan took all these people's actions into his eyes, and his face remained calm.
On the contrary, Chu Xuan and the others looked extremely ugly.
The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was not very good. Before Jiasan came, the Xia clan in the land of Xia and the Xia clan in the Duchy of Chu were fighting each other, and the people in Xiacheng couldn't completely stay on one side to watch the show, because the people on both sides Occasionally, people will say a few words about their envy, which is actually yin and yang.
"All the people who came here today are our own people." Jiasan paused, his eyes deliberately lingering on the faces of the Xiacheng people present for a while.
The Xiacheng people laughed knowingly.
A smile also appeared on Jiasan's face: "I don't know how grateful I am to you all. I can only say that without you, Xiacheng and even Xiaguo would not be where they are today. I believe that with you, Xiaguo will definitely become better in the future." Good. For now, everyone will eat and drink well, have a good meal, and I will ask you to help support the venue tomorrow. Now I announce that the banquet will begin!"
Everyone laughed together, many people clapped their hands together, and the banquet hall was full of applause and laughter.
When the Xiacheng people were having fun, some people curled their lips or showed obvious disdainful expressions on their faces, as if they didn't like the king Jiasan's words and deeds so civilian.
Moreover, Jiasan's words of thanks were obviously aimed at Xiacheng people and had nothing to do with other Xia people. This made some people who wanted to get a share of the New Xia Kingdom very upset, and the fact that none of Jia's family members came It is to make them feel that they have been treated with contempt—how can the relatives not show up for the thank-you banquet?
Seeing that this banquet was about to end in the midst of eating and drinking, those who came with certain purposes couldn’t bear it anymore. Normally, they would not have access to Jiasan at all, and they probably couldn’t count on it in the future. Tonight’s thank you banquet is their only one at present. Chance.
A strange young monster jumped out of nowhere and jumped into Jiasan's arms.
Jiasan put his arms around the little monster, lowered his head and smiled, and stroked him.
The little monster lay in his arms, looking at those who claimed to be the third relatives.
The corners of the mouths of those who have seen the little monster twitched. How sticky is it?The thank-you banquet did not require this person to appear on stage, and he came here specially.
Someone pushed forward, trying to get close to Jiasan, but before he got close, he was stopped by the guards.
The other party had no choice but to raise his voice and shout: "Your Highness, ah no, Your Majesty, I am your uncle, your grandma knows me, and I am her eldest cousin, Earl Ziyuan, who also has the status of heir to the Duchy of Qushi. I have something to ask you."
Many people looked at Earl Zi Yuan, and some people who had a purpose were full of expectations—Although Earl Zi Yuan was famous for his thoughtless speech, it took a lot of thought for everyone to persuade him to stand out first.
Jiasan raised his eyelids, "Don't mistake relatives, my grandma said, except for Jia's family, all her relatives have died."
Earl Ziyuan's face changed, and she immediately said dissatisfied: "How can she say that? Back then, her husband Jia was able to become the guard of the Grand Duke, and it was the Earl who recommended it for him. Why did he turn his face and deny anyone when he became rich?"
Except Xuan and other Xiacheng people with cold faces, they all looked at Earl Ziyuan with dead eyes: Where did he get the courage to talk to their king like this?
"Really, how does this king remember that my father told me that one of the murderers who chased and killed our family at that time was the son of Earl Ziyuan?" Jia San's eyes suddenly became fierce.
How could Earl Ziyuan admit it? "Impossible! Jia Shuang must have read it wrong. Our two families are relatives. How could my son go after and kill His Majesty's family?"
"Presumptuous! Duke Jia is the Duke of our country, how dare you call him by his first name as a small, shabby earl? Who gave you the courage!" Apart from Xuan's cold face, even people close to him would be intimidated, let alone a person who came to fight the autumn wind. of outsiders.
Earl Ziyuan's momentum immediately weakened, and he felt that Jiasan didn't respect them again, so he held back for a while before he said: "Sorry, I've been outspoken for a while, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Jiasan didn't say forgiveness, nor did he say no, "Is that your son?"
Jiasan looked at the few people behind him, there were men and women, they were full of nobility, rather they were full of arrogance.
Earl Ziyuan was startled immediately, fearing that Jiasan would retaliate in court, he regretted that he came out first, but it might be even worse to retreat now, so he could only avoid the topic without answering: "Your Majesty, what is your honor coming this time?" I have something important to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Jiasan asked casually, stroking the little monster in his arms.
Earl Ziyuan was overjoyed, fearing that he would not have the opportunity to speak out, he hurriedly stated: "The matter is of great importance. I wonder if His Majesty the Great has any arrangements for the successor of the Duchy of Qushi? We have written several times to ask the imperial capital, and we all We didn't get a clear answer, but we came here this time just to ask, what are your Majesties' plans for the Dukedom of Chu's?"
Jia San glanced at Chu Fei from the corner of his eyes, and the most orthodox heir shrank to the side like a quail, as if he was just here to eat.
According to the news from the newspaper below, it is said that the first heir of the Dushi Duchy applied here two months ago, saying that he wanted to move here, and he didn't ask for any title of nobility, he just wanted to be an ordinary migrating member of the Xia tribe.
And the Xia Clan stopped the population importation as early as three months ago, that is, one month after Fanbit's death. Any outsider who wants to enter the Ice and Snow Continent is no longer as easy as before, let alone get a Those who want to stay will also need to go through identity verification before they can get a temporary residence status.
A month ago, because they wanted to hold a wedding ceremony for him and Renault, Xia Guo rejected all foreigners who applied to enter. If guests who came to the wedding and entertainment did not have an invitation letter, they could only get a short-term invitation letter at the border. A tourist permit is required to enter, regardless of your status.
In addition to Fei Fei's special status, his immigration application has been put on hold, and he was able to enter Xiacheng after that because of an invitation letter.
Many people are wondering why Jiasan didn’t quickly deal with the problems of the Xia Clan in the Land of Xia and the Xia Clan in the Principality of Chu’s, such as merging them into the Ice and Snow Continent. After all, the Ice and Snow Continent is so big that it used to be impossible to live because of the ice, snow and weather, but now There is a magic circle covering the entire continent, and they can restart anywhere.
But Jiasan only accepted a small number of people, among them were marginalized people who couldn't survive in the Principality of Chushi, some laborers who bought magic food but didn't have enough magic crystals to pay for it, and some were sent by the land of Xia a group of orphans.
The Land of Xia originally wanted to transfer the entire clan to the Ice and Snow Continent, but after Vanbitt died, they did not continue to move after they got the news. As for the group of minors who were sent before, as long as they have family members and want to go back to the Land of Summer Those from the land were sent back to the land of summer.
Jia San said: "The Duchy of Chushi was sealed by the previous three generations, and the person who sealed it was the false Grand Duke. Since the false Grand Duke is dead, there is no need for this Principality to exist."
Except for a very small number of people, who knows when the false Grand Duke will appear?When Jiasan and Renault say it will appear, that's when it will be.
Defei, who knew the situation best, didn't say a word.
When they heard that the principality could not exist, those who came with a purpose were anxious.
Earl Zi Yuan also shouted: "It's not fair! We don't know about the false grand duke. That piece of land and the people of the Xia people on that land were named dukedoms, and it wasn't the efforts of the first grand duke alone. Now, why can’t the principality continue?”
Jia San sneered, and suddenly said: "Young Master Chu Fei, how about you answer this question?"
He has no choice but to be fat, he just wants to be a quiet fat man, but Jiasan obviously doesn't want to make it so easy for him.
"Cough, report back to Your Majesty, the Duchy of Chushi on the World of Warcraft Continent belongs to the Perman Empire, and the emperor has the right to do anything with the duchy." Chu Fei gave an ambiguous answer.
Duke Ziyuan scolded angrily: "Chu Fei! You have no right to say such things on behalf of the Duchy of Chushi! The Grand Duke has long denied your position as the heir. The Duchy of Chushi is a territory that my family has worked hard to build. Just revoke? Your Majesty, you are the king of our Xia people, you can't stand by His Majesty just because you are married to him!"
Duke Ziyuan continued with a earnest and considerate expression for the Xia Kingdom: "Your Majesty, the existence of the Chushi Principality is very important. It is a symbol that our Xia people can survive and take root in other places. If it is really cancelled, where Where will the Xia people go? What will be the status of the Xia people in the Perman Empire in the future? Your Majesty, you can’t let the emperor take back the Duchy and his title. Your Majesty, I am your uncle, I can swear, As long as I can become the Grand Duke of the Principality of Chushi, I will definitely establish diplomatic relations between the Principality and the Xia Kingdom, and allow the two places to watch over and help each other."
Jiasan's face darkened: "Pay attention to what you say, if you pretend to be my uncle again, don't blame me for being rude! Again, apart from Jia's family and my close relatives, I have no other relatives. Apart from Xuan, pass on this king's order, and from now on, anyone who pretends to be my relatives and friends, as long as this king does not approve, will be arrested for the most serious crime of fraud!"
"Yes." Chu Xuan answered firmly, he had long since disliked those who claimed to be relatives of His Majesty.However, the people in Xiacheng are not soft and kind to be bullied, and His Majesty did not recognize them, no matter how much these people yelled, they couldn't take advantage of it.
Some other people who claimed to be relatives of the Jia family were all terrified.They suddenly discovered that this young His Majesty who loved the people like a son and was soft-hearted and kind-hearted was not like what was said in the legend at all, this man was obviously very fierce.
Earl Ziyuan broke out in a cold sweat.
His sons and daughters didn't know how to live or die, and his son said in a strange manner at this time: "We are obviously related by blood, but His Majesty doesn't recognize it. What is this? Don't you recognize poor relatives after you get rich?"
Earl Ziyuan's daughter pulled her brother's sleeves, covered her lips with the most popular feather fan and said, "Brother, don't talk about it, now he has climbed up to King Gu Xia and His Majesty the Great Emperor, how can he put it on his face?" What do we family members think of? Sigh, there are so many ungrateful people in this person."
Many guests snickered.It wasn't Jiasan who was laughing, but this couple, who were obviously quite old, but couldn't see the situation clearly at all. They wanted to ask His Majesty Jiasan to help them keep their title, but they didn't take His Majesty Jiasan seriously. I don't know if their brains are full of shit?
However, those who knew Earl Ziyuan's family were not surprised at all. This family has always been like this, flattering the superiors and looking down on anyone who is inferior to them.In their eyes, Jiasan was probably the poor kid from the family they had chased and killed. No matter how prosperous Jia's family was, they still belonged to the "upstart" category in their eyes.
Earl Zi Yuan's sons and daughters were still very proud, thinking that they had mentioned Jiasan's sore feet.
Jiasan looked at this brainless family, and couldn't understand how they survived under the hands of the false Grand Duke until now, and even got the name of the earl, maybe it was because this family was too stupid?
Some people looked at Jiasan's expression with fear, and wanted to gag the mouths of Earl Ziyuan's children. This pair of idiots can be as stupid as they want in the Duchy of Chushi. Anyway, they have no real power, and the jokes they usually make just happen to explain to everyone. relieve boredom.And if they weren't stupid, they wouldn't be able to convince this family to be the first bird, but they didn't expect this family to be so stupid that they openly satirized Jiasan, who is the king of Xia Kingdom!
Jia San glanced at some caring people, sneered in his heart, and said, "Come here, arrest this family. This family not only pretends to be relatives of this king, but is also suspected of being one of the murderers who persecuted my family back then. Wake up and torture, it is best to torture all the murderers who persecuted the king's family at that time."
"Yes!" The guards responded loudly.They had long wanted to beat up this family who was disrespectful to His Majesty, and held their breath for a long time.As soon as they heard the order to add three, dozens of people rushed out to arrest people immediately.
The countenance of Earl Ziyuan's family changed drastically, and they shouted: "How dare you! This is a false accusation! Your Majesty, you can't do this! We are nobles from the Duchy of Qushi and people from the Perman Empire. You can't do this to us!"
Although Earl Ziyuan's family is also extraordinary, their fighting qi skills look good, but it depends on who they compare with.
Most of the bodyguards in Jiasan came from Blood Warriors, and all the elites who could be selected to be beside him were superhuman elites. To deal with such a family with more than a dozen people was not like catching rabbits, and they would be caught quickly.
Earl Ziyuan was still shouting: "Your Majesty Jiasan, you can't arrest us! We are members of the Perman Empire, and the emperor will not allow you to treat the nobles of Perman like this. If you do this, you will make all the Perman people hostile." You, you are looking for a dead end, you let us go!"
Jiasan picked up one of the little monster's paws and played with it, "Pellman Empire? Don't you know that your emperor has given me the Perlman Empire?"
The little monster stuffed the other little paw into Jiasan's hand, and my dear pinched him very comfortably.
Everyone was shocked.Even the Xiacheng people looked at their young king in surprise.
Everyone who knew the little monster looked at him, and seeing him squinting his eyes and looking intoxicated, they were a little speechless - he was simply a typical example of a foolish king.
"Impossible!" Earl Ziyuan shouted.
Jiasan thought they were noisy, so he asked the guards to shut their mouths - he could obviously use silence magic, but he just didn't work.
The guards were also narrow-minded, and they took out the strange-smelling cloth from the space tool and stuffed it into the family's mouth, making the family sick to death.
"Take it."
"Yes."
"I want to see King Gu Xia, I want... woo woo!"
Earl Ziyuan's family howled, and they were taken down before the wind and waves arose.
Jia San looked around at everyone present, "Who else wants to discuss matters with this king, now this king will give you a chance, as long as you don't violate the laws of Xia Kingdom, this king will say whatever you want."
The banquet hall was silent.
Except Xiaohoe and the others winked, waiting to see the jokes of the people from the other two places.Although they are all members of the Xia tribe, the relationship between them is not very good, and there is no sense of teary eyes when seeing fellow villagers.
Elder Chu of the Land of Xia sighed and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss."
Jiasan has a good impression of Elder Chu, and is kind to him: "Elder, please tell me."
Elder Chu stated: "At present, His Majesty has taken back the autonomy of all ethnic groups in the Four Seasons Continent. He not only requires changes in the management structure of each region, but also arranges for the army, management, tax officials, etc. to enter the Xia Land, but our people in the Xia Land have already We are used to self-management, and we follow the ancient family system. We dare not say how good it is until now, but we have maintained it until now. His Majesty the Great suddenly made a one-size-fits-all decision at this time, and the Xia people in the land of Xia felt at a loss. This time the old man came, also I would like to ask Your Majesty to help make peace, can you consider the special situation of the Xia people and give the land of Xia a certain autonomy?"
Look, this is the real purpose of the Xia Clan in the two places insisting on attending this wedding thank you banquet. They want to take advantage of this special occasion, when all the Xia Clans from the three parties are present and there are no other irrelevant people, they want to intercede with Jiasan. Nothing more than this autonomy.
Jiasan would not say that this matter had nothing to do with him. After he decided to marry Lei Nuo and accept Lei Nuo's gift, both the Perlman Empire and Xia Kingdom became his responsibility.
"Since you asked clearly, then I will answer you clearly." Jiasan no longer claimed to be the king, "It is impossible to want autonomy. Whether it is the Perlman Empire or the Xia Kingdom, the new national structure Laws and laws have been implemented, and it is imperative to change the two countries. And the status of nobility will be just a status in the two countries in the future. Apart from family property, it will no longer have territorial rights and governance rights."
Except for the elder who closed his eyes, he had already expected such a reply, so he had no choice but to take a step back and ask: "If the Xia people in my land of Xia want to enter the Xia country and become the people of the new Xia country, do you know? What are the benefits?"
"People of the Xia tribe entered the country of Xia and wanted to become citizens of the country of Xia. Naturally, they have preferential treatment compared to ordinary people. For example, the inspection period is shorter than others." Jiasan replied.
Elder Chu stared wide-eyed, "That's all?"
Jia Sanzhan said, "As early as three months ago, since Fanbit was destroyed, I gave you a month. At that time, I told you that if you want to join Xia Kingdom, you only need to express your opinion within one month. , then you can freely choose the existing towns on the Ice and Snow Continent, and you can become a citizen of the Xia Kingdom as soon as you come, enjoy all the benefits of the citizens of the Xia Kingdom, and also fulfill all the obligations of the people of the Xia Kingdom. It is a pity that choosing in a There are not many people expressing their views within the month."
Except for the helplessness of the elders, he didn't care about that little power. He asked these questions today for the sake of other people, "But at that time we asked you whether you could maintain the original family system when you migrated, and you said no, including the elders. Yes, you don’t accept it either. And you won’t consider granting noble titles when everyone has no meritorious contributions. You also need to purchase real estate and fields, and there is a limit on the number of purchases, and you have to give up slaves. This..." is a bit too harsh .
Elder Chu didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Jiasan smiled, "You can also choose not to move here, and continue to maintain your family system in the land of Xia, as long as your family system complies with the laws of the country, and your original property will not be moved."
Except for what the elders wanted to say, the army, judges, and tax officials were no longer their own people, and their land of summer would no longer be the land of summer.But now that the two His Majesties are working together, it is meaningless for him to say anything.Looking at the structure of Xia Kingdom, we can see that even if these people migrated here, they would not be able to enjoy their original power status.
The most frightening thing is that although the Perlman Empire still allows the sale of land and slaves, but the country of the husband and wife has canceled these, will the other party cancel these?Didn't you see that all the lords on the Continent of Disputes are drunk and dreaming of death, waiting for the big knife on their heads to fall?
"Elder, do you have any questions?" Jia Sanrou asked.
Elder Chu smiled wryly, shook his head, "Not anymore."
Jiasan smiled: "You know, I very much welcome Xia people from all over the country to come to Xia Kingdom."
Seeing that none of the Xia people in the land of Xia got any good results, the people from the Chushi Principality did not dare to express their "opinions".
Jiasan saw that the people in the Duchy of Chushi started pretending to be grandsons, and he didn't just let them go. The people who came here tonight were all from the Duchy of Chushi.
So he also clearly told these visitors from the Duchy of Chushi: "The Duchy of Chushi has ceased to exist since the day the puppet Grand Duke died. I don't know if the original title will be cancelled, but the fiefdom in your hands It will definitely be taken back. I also welcome the Xia people over there to come to the Xia country. The conditions are the same as those of the Xia people in the land of Xia. No serious crime history, no slaves, and no violation of the heart of the Xia country, as long as these three conditions are met After a three-month inspection period, you can become a native of the New Xia Kingdom. However, the land in the Xia Kingdom is not bought or sold, but only leased. The longest lease period is 200 years, and the lease can be renewed under the same conditions when it expires."
When the people of the Duchy heard these conditions, most of them were unwilling.
Jiasan also doesn't want these nobles at all. He is not short of money or people, but what he lacks is the labor force and elites from all walks of life who are willing to work, not a group of masters, ladies, young masters and young ladies who have no output or contribution.
"Finally!" After the banquet, Jiasan stretched his waist, and the little monster jumped out of his arms, stretched its body, and hugged his lover.
"We can have a good rest now, right? We are newly married now." Lei Nuo did not hide his resentment towards his husband at all.
Jiasan laughed, "Do you think you can rest? There are many things that haven't happened yet..."
"As long as you want to do things, you can never finish them."
"Okay okay, let's rest, by the way, what do you think of the honeymoon?"
"Honeymoon?"
"It's just going out to play after marriage, just the two of us."
Renault pinched his ears, "You don't just want to go to the abyss for honeymoon, do you?"
A look of sternness flashed in Jiasan's eyes, "Why not? The Miracle Merchant Group specially sent such a big gift for our wedding. If we don't reciprocate a little or two, wouldn't it appear that we don't understand reciprocity?"
Lei Nuo didn't want anyone to interfere with his wedding date. He had already issued a hunting order for the Miracle Merchant Group. It was only a matter of time before the leader of the Miracle Merchant Group was caught. Originally, Lei Nuo wanted to wait until he had a clear message from the other party. Finally, he took Jiasan there again, but Jiasan wanted to go to the abyss to play in advance.The journey of two people, think about it, is a little more interesting than closing the small black room all day long.
